Great food, always cooked fresh, chips are lovely. They do chicken which is good for me as allergic to fish. My partner has the fish which he enjoys every time

There were four in our group. We went to Broadstairs to see the Hotsy totsy on the bandstand. We read on trip advisor that this fish bar was good so went along. They were so attentive and the food was fantastic. One of our group was health conscious. Luckily grilled, skinless fish was on the menu. Fresh fruit salad to finish, yum. Would recommend to everyone.

This fish and chip shop is both a takeaway and a small restaurant. Everything is cooked fresh and judging by the queues at peak times, the local clientele appreciates the cooking. Fish and chips seem easy to cook and are a British favorite, but the standards of cooking vary a lot. This shop serves the local community, and I do travel out of my way to get a good portion of fish and ships that I can take home to enjoy with the family.
